This was intended to be a funny picture to show a select few friends, where i would be present to explain, "I tried so hard to smile but my face would do this!"....but unfortunately i forgot to take another picture of the day, so I hope you find it as funny as I do.
This picture was taken shortly after being told "You become real friends with someone after taking pictures with them"...so naturally we took pictures.
So, I'm a fan of the bike lane don't get me wrong, but until one is familiar with it for some time, being that close to traffic is a little (very) frightening.
